Changes

It has been over a year since I last posted something here, work, kids, and family take up all my time. I keep in touch with people through facebook and email. There is really no time left for me and blogging.

So why come back now?

I turned 35 in May and I finally decided that this year was going to be the final year where I would try to loose weight on my own before I do something drastic like gastric by-pass surgery.

I’m not doing this for my kids, or for my husband. I’m finally doing this for myself, but I’m not doing it to be skinny/slim or for the perfect size. I’m looking forward to having a regular period as I do not believe that it is healthy for any women to be so irregular.

I know from experience that when my hormones are working that I loose weight, even pregnant with the twins and no real change to my diet I lost over 20kg’s. Which have now come back on because my hormones are not working, instead of 11/12/13 periods a year I may average 3-5. This is not normal.

I did a lot of research and found the Insulite Laboratories that claim to “Reverse” PCOS. I costs roughly $250.00 per month of herbal supplements, which in my mind is a lot cheaper than gastric by-pass surgery.

I will start blogging about this diet (which I so hate this word) as I really want this to work.

I’ve found a new Kinesiologist that works in the city and I have been balanced to the 4 lots of different herbal pills. I’ve also started making small changes to my diet in order to reduce the carbohydrate intake to 60-80grams a day, this is my biggest challenge. I’m also slowly reducing the amount of sugar that I eat.

When you read sugar, people automatically assume chocolate, sweets / lollies I mean Sugar in tea / coffee and coke. I usually drink 1-3 cans of cola per day and my aim is to reduce that to 0. I’m down to 2 and some days am only having 1.
